KEENE — In an updated press release, Keene Police Department clarified details regarding a serious motor vehicle collision that occurred earlier.
The incident involved a westbound 2001 Chevrolet 2500 driven by Edward Jacod, 81, of Sullivan, and an eastbound 2007 GMC 1500 operated by Jace Joslyn, 18, of Swanzey.

A passenger in Jacod’s vehicle sustained life-threatening injuries and has since been airlifted to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center for treatment.
